Radiohead, Friday, Pyramid Stage : "There's initial recognition of opening riffs and then faded enthusiasm when they can't recall the lyrics, eventually choosing to leave for Dizzee Rascal. They made the wrong choice. This was a slowburn of a headline set."

Musician Thom Yorke of Radiohead

Foo Fighters, Saturday, Pyramid Stage : "A performance like this has such significance to the band and such significance to those watching. Many had probably been at the festival in 2015 hoping to see the Foos until they had to pull out. This was a performance two years in the making and they certainly didn’t disappoint."

Ed Sheeran, Sunday, Pyramid Stage : "You couldn’t fault his energy, especially as all eyes were on him. Previous headliners Radiohead and Foo Fighters are a team. You have a whole bunch of people to look at and analyse. Here you’ve got one young man trying to get a crowd of thousands enthused."

Katy Perry, Saturday, Pyramid Stage : "She wore the most spangly outfit we have seen so far. It was a diamanté clad jump suit, sparkly purple hat and purple strap-on wings. She looked like an urban fairy. 'This makes me feel cool…I never feel cool. Am I cool yet?' she asked."

Barry Gibb, Pyramid Stage, Sunday: "It sparked an instant singalong disco party around the Pyramid - which had rocked to an explosive Foo Fighters set the night before. Sensing the crowd's pleasure in the Bee Gees hits, Gibb paused several times after songs to take a few breaths and have a moment."

Biffy Clyro, Pyramid Stage, Sunday: "What makes a Glastonbury Festival performance special is when you can see the band really loving the fact they are where they are. This is something Biffy Clyro were making crystal clear. As Simon Neil shouted out “That was something special Glastonbury” you knew these guys were here to have a good time."

The Killers, secret show on John Peel, Sunday: "There was little in the way of chat and The Killers stuck to what they do best. And this didn’t feel like a band in decline. The hits flowed and the noise from the crowd at times was enormous."

Elbow, secret show on Park, Friday: "A massive crowd - it must have been one of the biggest the Park Stage has ever seen - gathered to see a secret confirmed on Friday afternoon as Elbow took to the stage. Opening with The Birds and ending, of course, with One Day Like This it saw the band in imperious form with Guy Garvey practically bursting with energy."

The Pretenders, Other stage, Friday: "Strolling onto the stage with a big smile and wearing a Motorhead T-shirt Hynde and her band got things thumping straight away. Hynde was warm, funny and sweary. The crowd laughing, laughing, cheering and happy. 'Do we prefer guitar based rock? You f****** bet we do,' she said.

Kiefer Sutherland, Avalon stage, Sunday: "The majority are here for the sheer spectacle of seeing a figure so famous from screen and TV with a guitar and singing songs. But what we get is about as authentic a Glastonbury performance as you're going to see."

Liam Gallagher, Other Stage, Saturday: "He’s at his best when singing Oasis songs – his own tend to be dull and no substance to the lyrics. You can’t question his showmanship but needs his brother to be writing the songs for him."

Royal Blood, Pyramid Stage, Friday: "The Pyramid Stage slot was undoubtedly their biggest ever gig and lead vocalist and bassist Mike acknowledged that. He told the crowd 'this is insane… one of the most life-changing, terrifying moments of our lives… so thank you for putting up with us'.

Stormzy, Other Stage, Saturday: "The rise of this grime artist has been sensational and you can see his appeal. He has boundless energy on stage and even tried to create the biggest mosh pit Glastonbury has ever seen. The crowd grew in size as his set progressed, no doubt people walking by taken in by his showmanship."

Hacienda Classical, Pyramid Stage, Friday: "After such a serious start, it was testament to the array of musical talent on stage that the crowd was soon bouncing along to a range of well-known tracks. Music is at its best when those making it are clearly having a blast and the enjoyment was obvious on the faces of classical performers, singers and guitarists."

Chic, Pyramid Stage, Sunday: "The US group had a slightly tricky start to their set on the Pyramid Stage, when the opening montage did not quite go to plan.But Chic soon had festival revellers in a party mood with their disco-tastic set of 70s hits, including Everybody Dance, I Want Your Love and Upside Down."

Nile Rodgers and Chic

Alt-J, Other Stage, Saturday: "The crowd was quite thin due to Foo Fighters being on the Pyramid Stage but that didn’t mean the fans were any less quiet. The band has been touted as future headliners of the festival and with this type of musical and visual show you can see why."

Alt-J will headline the Other Stage on Saturday night

Napalm Death, Truth Stage, Thursday: "They promised the band were going to “make as much f*****g horrible noise as possible” and they did just that. It was loud and offensive. Just what they wanted really."

The Shangri La area will welcome Napalm Death

Boy Better Know, Other Stage, Sunday: "To the uninitiated, BBK's show is like a kind of sweary musical theatre in overdrive. They were backed by a double triptych of video screens looping the kind of bleak urban video you might see in a Tate Modern installation. Their 'energy crew,' a focussed, loyal crowd, shouted back the words they needed to on cue, playing their part."

Bootleg Beatles, Pyramid Stage, Saturday: "With lyrics to every song firmly entrenched in everyone's memory, the Bootleg Beatles and the Pepperland Sinfonia could hardly fail to entertain and even when "they had to leave as it was almost 1968", there was still time for everyone to throw peace signs at the sky and roar All You Need Is Love."

The Jacksons, West Holts, Saturday: "I was surrounded throughout by revellers swinging their hips and grooving on down, the flags of West Holts fluttering above and behind them. During more than an hour and a quarter of music, The Jacksons crammed in ABC, Can You Feel It, Never Can Say Goodbye, I’ll Be There, Blame it on the Boogie, Enjoy Yourself and more."

Marlon Jackson of The Jacksons

Shaggy, West Holts, Sunday: "Near the end of It Wasn’t Me he told the crowd 'if you get caught red-handed don’t do what Tiger Woods did… say it wasn’t me'. That was near enough to a highlight as we got."

Lekiddo - Lord of the Lobsters, Summer House, Saturday: "Lekiddo is from North London. He calls himself the Lord of the Lobsters. There is no physical evidence that he holds any position of authority among sea creatures. He does, however, have very devoted fans and their enthusiasm quickly spreads So when the backing tracks begin to his particular brand of Euro-pop, generally ocean-themed, a party quickly ensues."
